Gestalt Therapy is a humanistic and experiential psychotherapy approach that emphasizes self-awareness, personal responsibility, and the holistic understanding of an individual's thoughts, feelings, and behaviours within their present moment and interpersonal context. In this introductory course, you will learn about the core concepts, theories and skills used in Gestalt Therapy.

Gestalt Therapy is founded on several core principles that guide its therapeutic approach. First, it emphasises the importance of the here and now, encouraging individuals to become fully aware of their thoughts, emotions, and sensations in the present moment. Second, it fosters personal responsibility, empowering clients to take ownership of their actions and choices. Additionally, Gestalt Therapy underscores the significance of the therapist-client relationship, viewing it as a collaborative partnership.

It advocates for exploring unresolved past issues and unfinished business, seeking closure and self-awareness. Lastly, the approach promotes the concept of holism, perceiving individuals as complex, interconnected wholes rather than a sum of isolated parts, and it encourages self-acceptance and authenticity as essential for personal growth and well-being.
